Vim, with syntax colouring, is great for viewing server log files, which can in reasonable circumstances (f. ex. log level turned right up in desperation) be gigabytes in size. Of course, vim struggles a bit, but I say it's a quite valid use case. I was called into a project 15 or so years ago where the only data manipulation tool was dump to flat file, edit with vi, and reload. One file I had to manipulate dumped to 100 MB. Many are the ways vim is used, beyond any one person's imagination I suspect.
